Hungarian GP - Race Talk

Hungaroring qualifyings yesterday were really bizarre and even tragic to some extent. Now with Massa out of the race, Ferrari's chances for finishing with points solely rest on Kimi.

The starting grid for today's race:




P.S: Position 20 does not exist, as Massa is not racing today.

The car weights have been released:

Fernando Alonso will start the Hungarian Grand Prix with the least fuel of anybody on Sunday. Rubens Barrichello's Brawn is the heaviest car on the grid from twelfth place and the Brazilian therefore has more flexibility with his pit strategy. Just nineteen cars will start the race following Felipe Massa's qualifying accident.

Vettel has a very bad start.. Dropping off rapidly to 7th. Kimi and Lewis have a good start.

Alonso out of the race...

Webber creates an almost-crash in the pit lanes. Most likely to receive a penalty.

Hamilton has an excellent chance of winning this one..

Hamilton, Kimi and Webber in 1,2 and 3... Vettel retires. Button in 9th and still battling to finish in points..

The rookie is at the back of the grid. Button enters points zone after overtaking Piquet.
